Hi,

Due to recent resizing issue which provokes me to restore backups from a VM, it seems that my metadata space are almost full now:

I've read and try some suggestions of the forum, trying to expand tmeta or reduce tdata it but, as you can see, data_tdata has all the remaining space assigned so I can't do it.

Somewhere in the forum read about deleting VM snapshots free up the space a bit but I did it already and nothing change.

My question is, could the metadata space be resized or I am in the middle of a big problem :confused:?

Thank you!
 
The LVM-thin metadata pool can not be resized. The size is fixed after creation.

Stop all VM/CT and try to back them up. Or try to move them to a different storage. And afterwards, destroy the pool and create a new one.
